Question

Dr. Cutaro wants to see his physicist friend Dr. Washu. Dr. Cutaro then drives 300m towards the north through his car to reach the crossing. He then drives 400m towards the east to finally reach Dr. Washu's house. Dr. Washu is not in his house. According to his wife, Dr. Washu is at Dr. Ritsuko's house located at the side of the same street as that of D. Wushu's house. Dr. Cutaro then drives east until he reached Dr. Ritsuko's house. If the total displacement magnitude of Dr. Cutaro from his house is 700m, how far is Dr. Ritsuko's house from Dr. Washu's house? Assume that the 2 houses are located on the same side of the street.
